Please remember those who where deceived by the false teachings proclaiming that the rapture
would occur on May 21st 2011. Many thus deceived lost everything. Satan will seek to have them give up on God and
thus be lost to the world. As the world mocks them, we should be praying for them!

Thessalonians contains an important lesson for those who live in the last days. Many Adventists
have felt that unless they could fix their faith upon a definite time for the Lord's coming, they could not be
zealous and diligent in the work of preparation. But as their hopes are again and again excited, only to be
destroyed, their faith receives such a shock that it becomes well-nigh impossible for them to be impressed by the
great truths of prophecy. The preaching of a definite time for the Judgment, in the giving of the first message,
was ordered of God. The computation of the prophetic periods on which that message was based, placing the close of
the 2300 days in the autumn of 1844, stands without impeachment. The repeated efforts to find new dates for the
beginning and close of the prophetic periods, and the unsound reasoning necessary to sustain these positions, not
only lead minds away from the present truth, but throw contempt upon all efforts to explain the prophecies. The
more frequently a definite time is set for the second advent, and the more widely it is taught, the better it suits
the purposes of Satan. After the time has passed, he excites ridicule and contempt of its advocates, and thus casts
reproach upon the great Advent movement of 1843 and 1844. Those who persist in this error will at last fix upon a
date too far in the future for the coming of Christ. Thus they will be led to rest in a false security, and many
will not be undeceived until it is too late.
